This is a basic user control that uses the TweetSharp library to get different status Timelines from Twitter.

Simply copy the files from the bin folder into your websites bin folder.  You can then upload the user control and code behind file using the Sitefinity Toolbox.

After adding the control to your Sitefinity page you must configure your username & password. Caution: The password is stored as plain text in the database.

Notes: Uses the free TweetSharp library: http://tweetsharp.com/

    Hi Brian,
    just tried dropping this control in and it doesn't output anything.. Has the API changed underneath? I don't get any errors either?

    Matt, I guess the API has changed and the control will need to be updated. In the meantime you can refer to the following blog posts: Displaying Your Current Twitter Status and Twitter Integration with Sitefinity. I hope you find them helpful.

    Thanks Anton. Yep had seen Basem's page, not seen Gabe's version via RSS though. Lots of different Twitter libraries out there!

    Anybody found out how to fix the above issue yet?
    Gabe's rss version only shows the latest tweet...
